Rumor: CSE Buying the Chilliwack Chiefs

[oceanchild]

Moray Keith owns the chiefs and owns the Dueck auto dealerships, Dueck on Marine being his largest one for a long time and the driver of his growth. He bought the team so his son Greg could play after he was cut from a jr B team. This was in the late 90s, the franchise has done him well.

It was reported a while back that Aquilini wants the arena so he can get another WHL team there. Originally he wanted the Winnipeg Ice.

Wouldn't that be a crowded Fraser Valley with Langley, Chilliwack and Abbotsford? I mean, it makes sense for aim for WHL over a BCHL club, but still need to consider the competition in the area. There was a WHL team in Chilliwack before and it didn't last. Now you have the Canucks AHL team in Abby.

Totally agree....but this is your savvy businessman, Aquilini, who knows everything about hockey and business!

Totally. He is way to simple minded and probably just looks at the baby canucks doing well and thinks this will work too!

The Chilliwack Canucks. Sell more overpriced jerseys. This is the plan.
